@retrometal: Amiga Forever is the best solution for emulating the Amiga, and believe me, I've tried them all. It's well worth the purchase price in the hours of dealing with incompatibility and speed issues you deal with when using vanilla WinUAE. I co-host an Amiga podcast called Amigos if you're looking to add some Amiga exclusive listening to your playlist :)

In the spirit of Games Done Quick, but without the slick professional presentation, my buddy Aaron and I are doing a 12-hour Amiga marathon for Make a Wish UK. It was originally inspired by Commodore responding to MaW's request for an Amiga 1200 for a terminally ill boy in 1993. We believe it's the first all-Amiga charity gaming marathon. If you'd like to donate or read more, check out our Just Giving page, and we'll be broadcasting live on our Youtube Gaming channel from 10am-10pm Eastern this Saturday, August 12. We hope this is a successful event and the first of many Amiga charity marathons to come!

Hey duders,

I know there are quite a few retro-gaming and computing folks here. If you think you might enjoy some Amiga discussion pumped into your ears on a weekly basis, give the Amigos Podcast a shot! We're on iTunes or you can subscribe from the blog. We (my co-host Aaron and I) have 8 episodes out so far, and the games we've discussed include:

Hybris
Marble Madness
The Addams Family
Pinball Dreams
Micro League Wrestling

...so as you can see, we try and mix it up and not just rehash the most popular classics. If you have any suggestions on games for us to cover, just leave a comment and we'll add it to the list.

Not working for me either. I tried removing and re-adding the channel, but it still won't load from the main menu.

It doesn't make sense to me to have non-subscribers be able to comment on a video that they cannot see. It only invites trolling.

Just wanted to bump this...is there any progress on getting subscriber content on Roku? I'd love to watch the Members Only SNES Party on the big screen!

" Hear, Hear to Rebel Fm! "

I've totally given up on Rebel FM, especially after the last few episodes (I've listened to them since the 1Up layoffs). I'm fed up with the scatological and torture porn "jokes" and everyone trying to think up the sickest and most offensive shit they can think of to be "funny."  Throw in the most condescending attitude imaginable to everyone who doesn't fit their mold about what a "normal" person should be, and you've got Rebel FM. Not to mention their opinions on everything are as lackluster and vanilla as any fans. There's a reason why these guys were laid off at 1up and now occupy the lowest ladder at IGN.  
 
My favorite podcast of all time is Idle Thumbs. Nobody has ever come close to making me laugh that hard, and it's the only podcast I've ever downloaded the entire backlog of. Just reading the above post about Samuel L. Jackson's arm was cracking me up :) 
 
My other favorites besides The Giant Bombcast: 
GameScoop 
Podcast Beyond  
  
It's a shame that 1Up podcasts went downhill. I loved the old 1Up Yours podcast, Retronauts before Jeremy got sick of doing them, and @1Up, which very recently met its demise. Any podcast piloted by Tina Sanchez is garbage, and I never liked Scott Sharkey, although I realize he had a great deal of fans. Give me Garnett Lee and John Davison.  
 
Thanks for the above recommendations--I'm downloading Weekend Confirmed and This is Only a Test now.
